Pediatric Dentistry in Simsbury
A Positive Start for Every Smile:
At Simsbury Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry, we believe a child’s first visit should be an enjoyable adventure. While children aren't born fearing the dentist, the "unknown" can be intimidating. That’s why our team uses gentle, non-frightening language and the "Show-Tell-Do" method—explaining every step in simple terms so your child feels confident and safe.
Why Choose a Pediatric Specialist?
Pediatric dentistry is an additional two to three years of specialized training beyond dental school. This expertise allows them to better manage childhood oral diseases, growth development, and unique behavioral needs than a general dentist.
Dr. Maryam Azadpur brings an extensive clinical background to our office, including:
- A General Practice Residency at Waterbury Hospital.
- A two-year Pediatric Dentistry Residency at the University of Connecticut Health Center.
- A specialized Pediatric Dentistry Fellowship at Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital.
- Over 30 years of clinical experience and expertise.
Your Child’s Dental Home
Dr. Azadpur and our entire team recommend that children have their first visit by their first birthday. Establishing a "dental home" early ensures your child benefits from proper hygiene habits from the very start.
At-Home Care Tips:
- Start Early: Begin cleaning teeth as soon as the first one erupts.
- The Right Tools: Use a soft toothbrush and water.
- Frequency: Because baby teeth demineralize faster than permanent teeth, we recommend brushing after every meal to keep the plaque off and the enamel strong.
